Chapter 164: Questioning
Looking at Ichigo's increasingly serious face, Akane Shizuku also stopped laughing, and it seemed that if he didn't reply to Ichigo's words well, it was really possible that Ichigo would be regarded as an enemy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Ichigo, if I don't tell you where I came from, are you going to fight my sword?"
Although Akane Shizuku can understand Ichigo's mood at this time, it is nothing more than to protect the city where he is, and he must be vigilant against anyone who does not know his origin. Otherwise, if you are not careful, you may destroy your family. However, Akane Shizuku herself didn't know why, she didn't answer Ichigo immediately, as if to test Ichigo's bottom line, she just asked Ichigo's plans. Although her words were full of anger, Ichigo saw a hint of loneliness in her eyes.
"Akane Shizuku, I'm sorry, I may have been a little heavy in tone just now. I've been with you for a long time, and if I can't see that you're a good girl, I've really lived for so long in vain. What to say ... I'm just a little curious about where you came from, and if you have something hard to say, it's okay not to say it! Let's go and go to the mall you just pointed to, and you can still squeeze some more out of my wallet."
Seeing that Akane Shizuku had also finished his drink, Ichigo offered to continue shopping in order to dissipate the atmosphere full of gunpowder. And Akane Shizuku heard Ichigo say this, and the fingers that had been rubbing the straw just now also stopped. Looking at Ichigo, his eyes are no longer lonely and helpless, but have regained their original vigor.
"Ichigo, don't be in such a hurry when shopping or something. Now that you've brought out my memories, don't try to deal with it easily. If you don't listen to me talk about your past, you don't want to slip away. You are the first person to listen to me tell about the past, give me a good word, and tell me everything word by word. If I accidentally forget my past in the future, I'll take it back from you!"
Akane Shizuku's changes were so great that Ichigo couldn't react for a while. Obviously just a warrior who swore to defend his secrets, how did he suddenly become a good friend who didn't talk about anything. However, seeing Akane Shizuku's eyes return to normal, Ichigo felt happy for no reason.
Shizuku's memories didn't seem to last long, just a few days, and when she woke up, she was on the bank of a river. After that, he wandered around Kuza Town until he met Ichigo. The previous memories were more shattered than lost. For her parents and the past, Akane Shizuku will have some fragments of life floating in her mind from time to time, although some are good memories, some are painful experiences, but they all prove that Akane Shizuku once lived in this world as a human being.
Compared to her memories as a human, there are only a handful of memories of being a Grim Reaper. Except for the past few days just experienced, Akane Shizuku has no other memories of herself as a god of death in her memory, whether it is how she became a god of death, how she began to solve the sword, and why she came to the present world, all of them have no impression. And those red-headed guys, in the past few days, Akane Shizuku has often encountered them, so it's no longer strange.
I don't know why Akane Shizuku came to the world, although Ichigo has a trace of regret in his heart. However, seeing the way the girl next to him struggled to remember but had a headache, Ichigo didn't want to continue to embarrass her. Ichigo gently pressed his palm against Akane Shizuku's head, and when Akane Shizuku looked up at Ichigo suspiciously, Ichigo smiled encouragingly.
"Akane Shizuku, since you can't remember why you came to Kuzacho, don't force yourself. The reason to come to Kuzacho can be found not only in the memories of the past, but also in the present life!"
Hearing Ichigo say this, Akane Shizuku nodded as if she didn't understand. In fact, she didn't really care why she appeared in Kuzamachi, but it was because of Ichigo's questioning at that moment, so she kept forcing herself to recall. For now, it's a good idea to find a reason to come to Kuza and enjoy the rest of your life.
"Ichigo, although what you say is very reasonable. However, I have one more small request, can you fulfill it, and that is, I have no relatives in this city, can you give me a place to stay?"
Akane Shizuku is no longer as confident as she used to be, and now she really looks like a girl living on the streets, very pitifully begging for Ichigo to take her in. And Ichigo was not very happy about this kind of thing, but he quickly accepted it. After all, there are still two people in his house who have come from the Corpse Soul Realm to take refuge.
The Ichigo family
"I'm very sorry, uncle and aunt, can you let me live here temporarily? I'm being hunted down by the enemy, and if I am left alone, I really don't know if I will be able to see the sun tomorrow!
Akane Shizuku is in front of Ichigo's parents at this time, and he is like two people during the day. Ichigo on the side even thought for a moment that Akane Shizuku during the day was not his delusion, and this feeling lasted until Akane Shizuku walked into Ichigo's bedroom.
"Akane Shizuku, we already have two friends living in the house, so there is no extra room left, so you can live in my house for the time being. You're going to just sleep in my closet, where Rukia has slept for a while!"
Although Ichigo was a little embarrassed to let a girl sleep in his closet, but thinking that Rukia was like that at the beginning, Ichigo also dispelled all the slightest resentment in his heart.
"Ichigo, you said the opposite, you actually let a girl sleep in the closet, I think the two of us should change it, you sleep in the closet, I will barely sleep in your bed!"
As if she had become the owner of the house, Akane Shizuku sat directly on Ichigo's bed, lay down comfortably, and directly announced the change of ownership of Ichigo's bed. Just as Ichigo was about to say something, a voice drowned back all the words that Ichigo had just reached his throat.
"Ichigo, who is she, and why do I feel a spiritual pressure similar to death from her?"
Rukia and Koiji suddenly break down the door, startling Ichigo. In addition to expressing dissatisfaction with Rukia and Koiji breaking into their room without knocking on the door, they are more confused.
"Rukia, why didn't you tell me earlier if you had any questions, I didn't see any opinions from you when Akane Shizuku was talking about her origin at the door?
Rukia and Koiji are not aftersight people, and in Ichigo's opinion, there must be a special reason why they are only questioning it now.
"Ichigo, since I vaguely felt the power of death in her, I didn't point it out directly in front of your parents. However, now that there are only a few of us here, I have to ask why Akane Shizuku came to Sorazacho and why did she come to live in Ichigo's house? You two should have just met, Ichigo, are you like this to all the Grim Reaper? Just met, you dare to let her come to your house directly."
Rukia wanted to accuse Ichigo of being reckless, but thinking that he hadn't known Ichigo for long, Ichigo readily agreed to live there. Therefore, Rukia could only say a few words to Ichigo helplessly. However, when she looked at Akane Shizuku, Rukia was full of wariness.
"You two should also be the Grim Reaper, since you can both live in the Ichigo family, why can't I? Besides, this is the Ichigo family, I only need to get Ichigo's permission, and I am not obligated to help you clear your doubts. You two will continue to have doubts and go to your room to be depressed!"
Akane Shizuku, who was questioned by others this time, is no longer as lonely as when Ichigo questioned her, and at this time she is not at all inferior to Rukia, who has long lived here. Not only did he not explain his origin at all, but he also made a grimace at Rukia and Koiji when Ichigo wasn't paying attention.
"Rukia, Koiji, I'm sure Akane Shizuku won't do anything bad for me, so you can rest assured!"
Seeing Rukia and Koiji getting more and more angry, Ichigo could only push them out of his room with a helpless face.
